HiJoJo Partners

HiJoJo operates as a private equity fund of funds with a focus on late-stage, pre-IPO companies and unicorns. The firm makes primary fund commitments, co-investments, and secondary purchases across venture and growth equity strategies, targeting companies approaching liquidity events in Japan and internationally.

HiJoJo employs a hybrid model that includes primary fund commitments, direct co-investments, and secondary transactions. This structure allows the firm to source exposure to late-stage private companies through multiple entry points, rather than operating exclusively as a fund-of-funds allocator.

The firm invests in Japan and overseas markets. Confirmed geographic exposure includes Japan, North America, and selected Asian markets outside Japan, with a mandate that spans domestic and cross-border late-stage venture and growth equity opportunities.

HiJoJo integrates secondaries sourcing into its broader fund-of-funds platform, acquiring existing LP positions in venture and growth-stage funds. This capability provides the firm with accelerated deployment timelines and potential discount-to-NAV entry points, complementing its primary fund commitment and co-investment activities.

Public record does not name HiJoJo's founders or current principals as of mid-2026. The firm has maintained a low public profile since its 2017 founding in Tokyo, with no publicly disclosed leadership team, AUM figures, or team headcount.
